The present work addresses the systematic study of the synthesis and characterization of
cobalt nanoparticles produced in polyol solutions. The kinetics of the metal forming
reaction strongly influenced the stability ...
Size - and shape - controlled synthesis of silver nanostructures for potential high thermal conductivity applications
(2012)
Nanofluids, which are based on the use of nanoscale particles suspended in a base fluid, have become a new alternative for improving heat management technology. Ultra fine and monodisperse solid silver particles are a very ...
The role of Ca+2 doping on the structural, magnetic and electrical properties of bismuth ferrite powders and films
(2018-07)
The search for alternative ways of collecting, storing and reusing energy has motivated our research to investigate multifunctional materials based on the perovskite structure, such as Bismuth ferrite (BFO). Our scope was ...
Evaluation of waste tire crumb rubber and dewatered sludges as adsorbents of heavy metals ions in the Miradero Water Treatment Plant at Mayagüez, Puerto Rico
(2014)
Water pollution by heavy metal species is a major environmental concern, and existing technologies are not always adequate for meeting regulatory limits. Major sources of pollution of aqueous effluents with heavy metal ...
Composition-structure and size/shape-controlled synthesis and characterization of high coercivity ferrite nanocrystals
(2010)
Cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) possesses excellent chemical stability, good mechanical hardness and a large positive first order magnetocrystalline anisotropy constant, making it a promising candidate for magneto-optical recording ...
Composition- and size-controlled synthesis of Mn-Zn ferrite nanocrystals for potential magnetocaloric applications
(2008)
There are presently many applications using nanofluids in thermal engineering. Some examples include the use of nanoparticles in conventional coolants to enhance heat transfer rate by increasing its thermal conductivity. ...
Chitosan-based nanoparticles for controlled release of Bromacil
(2018-12)
Herbicides are the most widely used method for weed control. However, the agricultural industry worldwide is facing several challenges including the environmental pollution problems (soils and water) caused by the unsuitable ...
